How matter and energy flow in the bloodstream.

What is it about?

The circulation of blood, and other fluids, transports chemical substances and gases throughout the body; this process is called advection. This paper shows how energy can be incorporated into models of advection to simplify the incorporation of circulation into mathematical models of human physiology.
